...Moscow for the purpose of signing a pact normalizing relations between the two nations. Russia agrees to postpone discussion of the territorial issue . . ." This made it fairly certain that a deal would go through, that Russia will soon have an embassy in Tokyo, and that Japan, eleven years after defeat, will get a seat in the U.N. (four times vetoed by the U.S.S.R.). Federenko's answer seemed to blast all hope of keeping Hatoyama safe in Tokyo. As he got his weekly haircut, the Premier remarked cheerfully: "I probably will need only one more before going to Moscow...
...Daugherty has neither the portentous air nor commanding presence of the typical big-time football coach. He is cheerfully irreverent in a profession of solemn ulcer cases, a merry man with an Irishman's gregariousness and a leprechaun's smile. He has known the bitterness of defeat, when in 1954 he inherited a team of Big Ten co-champions and lost six out of nine games.

If they had any doubts, Truman settled the matter last August when he said, "Stevenson is too defeatist to win." As if that were not enough, he added that Stevenson was allied with "Reactionaries." The topper came a few weeks...
Cornell, the Crimson's football opponent this coming Saturday, failed to stop Navy in their 14-0 defeat, in the only non-Ivy League encounter over the weekend among the Crimson's 1956 opposition. The strong Navy squad started its second string, yet Cornell failed to threaten once during the contest. Its defense, however, was excellent in spots, and once stopped a 74-yard Middie scoring march on the one yard line...
